Saving NIST’s Workforce Act

This bill, titled the "Saving NIST's Workforce Act," aims to institute a reduction in force moratorium at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It prohibits the Institute from initiating or implementing any reduction in force until full-year appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are enacted into law. Additionally, it restricts involuntary separations of various employee categories, such as those in the competitive or excepted service. The only exception allowed for these separations is for cause due to misconduct, delinquency, or inefficiency.
